Oh, That's Right...The Gym's Fucked

DOC:   This can't be right.  If I was out for a week, the power levels would be much higher than they are right now.

TOM:   Hi there.  Tom Cedar, formerly of Kanto Generating.  Fixed your shit.

DOC:   Where is everyone?

JESS:   Probably dead...but we saved two, though.

DOC:   Well, Mr. Cedar, if you're an electrical engineer, you definitely did the job discharging the excess power...but how?

TOM:   Easy, really.  You saw my Electivire, right?

DOC:   I couldn't help but notice, yes.  Why do you ask?

TOM:   I came in here with an Electabuzz, if that gives you an idea.

DOC:   That's fascinating! You bypassed the need for an Electizer by harnessing the built up power from the transformer--! That reminds me! Lanturn, return!

DOC:   I still don't understand what you were doing in the plant to begin with, though.  Why are you here?

JESS:   We came to find you.  Marcus of the Seraph City Gym suggested you were behind the power outage, but there's been a lot more going on than just--

DOC:   There should have been alarms...precautions, fail-safes...it should have never gotten this far--

JESS:   Look, we got a lot of shit to catch you up on, so if you'd just shut up for a minute, this will all go by a lot faster.  The power was going out everywhere so we went to investigate but there were  Zoroark in the plant and they've been attacking people again so we came back in to clear everything out and kill all the Zoroark and rescue your ass because Zoroark suck and I want them dead.

TOM:   I hate to say it, but that might be the safest bet to take.

JESS:   What's the last thing you remember, Doc?

DOC:   I was doing some last-minute research before the S.S. Anne was set to arrive.  I figured three days would be enough time--

ARTURO:   Three days?!

JESS:   Mewtwo most have planned some kind of communication strike even before the S.S. Anne arrived in Jizo!

DOC:   I'm gonna need a hand with a few things, if you don't mind accompanying me back to the communications room.

KEVIN:   Okay.

TOM:   I can definitely help.

JESS:   I will be hugging your Ampharos...because I love him.

DOC:   So...what exactly did I miss?

TOM:   I suppose it's my turn to tell the story, huh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TOM:   You know, it might help to have all this shit written down somewhere.  We've got four more gym leaders to contact in the region and this account is just gonna keep getting longer and longer.

JESS:   Who's gonna write down all of that? You??

TOM:   ...maybe.

DOC:   Before the S.S. Anne came into port, I cued in on an odd signal when studying brain patterns of Pokemon and their trainers.  If the S.S. Anne went missing, the best way to locate it would be by using the resources here.

KEVIN:   Whoever's behind this took out the strongest trainers in the world all at once.

JESS:   And we haven't been able to contact the Elite Four of this region at all.

DOC:   Well, we can't reach out to anyone so long as this plant is down.  It will take a while for us to get basic functions and operations back up and running.

JESS:   Do you have Marcus' phone number? Maybe I can contact him.

JESS:   The number's not connecting--oh, that's right.  The gym's fucked.  Tom, where's the...uhh...?

TOM:   ...the Clem?

JESS:   Yes! Where is she?

TOM:   I think Soot is over there with her in the corner, healing her wounds.

JESS:   We're gonna need her to help Doc get the plant up and running again.

DOC:   We're going to need as many people as we can get to speed up the reboot.

ARTURO:   There are some injured plant employees at the Pokemon Center! I'll bring them over!

KEVIN:   I'll come with.  I have business to take care of.

TOM:   Hey, do you have PC access here?

DOC:   Of course! If we just reestablish the connections here and--done! PC is up and running!

TOM:   I'll bring out some utility Pokemon to help with the repairs.

TOM:   This should do nicely: Emolga, Drilbur, Pachirisu, Jolteon and Joltik can team up with Elekid here and get some solid progress done.

TOM:   Okay, everyone.  Let's get technical!

JOLTEON:   I am ready I have been ready I will be ready until you are dead in the ground!

JOLTIK:   I too am capable of doing the things!

PACHIRISU:   Awaiting orders, sir!

EMOLGA:   Prepared to--!

EMOLGA:   ...this isn't fun anymore.

DRILBUR:   Who are you people?
